Company Promises to Develop Battery-Replacing Ultracapacitors in Electric Vehicles
For years, people have been thinking to reduce or even eliminate gasoline-powered vehicles, and switch to battery-powered ones. The the battery-powered electric vehicles' era hasn't already begun well enough, and now some are even thinking to replace batteries with something else: ultracapacitors.
Nickel Found to Control the Performance of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are well-known for their long lasting lives. However, researchers believe there is still room for discussion.
A group of scientists at the Department...
A Tesla to Power Your Home?
It's no secret that Elon Musk serves as chair Solar City, the biggest play in residential solar in the US. That puts the Tesla...
Battery-Like Bacterial Enzyme Stores Energy Biologically
Clean energy is now an almost achieved dream, especially with the newly reported Concordia University (Canada) physicists’ research findings. The researchers led by Associate Professor László Kálmán have...
Active Dual Functioning Electrolyte Boosts Capacity and Extends Life of Batteries
Scientists and engineers have been trying to improve the capacity and extend the life-span of conventional batteries ever since their initial creation. We often...
Self-storing Solar Power Possible with Graphene, says Sunvault Energy
Graphene, in concept, has been around since the latter half of the 1800s, but it wasn’t until just over a decade ago that scientists...
New Nano-Materials Mix Boosts Li-Ion Battery Capacity
Carbon nanotubes have been in the focus of many scientists and universities studying battery technologies recently. Now, a group of Rice University researchers found out the novel properties of carbon nanotubes surrounded by metal-oxide arrays for use in lithium ion batteries.
New Special Nozzle Makes Methane Hydrates Easier to Obtain
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy found out a way to chemically enclose methane in cage-like ice crystals. This technology is much safer than current liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is transported at very low temperatures and high pressures.
Beat Winter with a Self-Heating Battery
Researchers believe they have found the next way to cure winter blues – for electric vehicle battery technology, anyways.
A lithium-ion battery that heats on...
